Author Topic: Looking for some good movie trivia questions. Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-13-2008 11:51 AM                       Hahaha! I KNEW it... you.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-13-2008 02:45 PM                     Actually wasn't there a TV movie made for Casino Royale that was made before Dr No? I seem to recall this as an extra on some disc and it was some actor I can't remember.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-13-2008 03:00 PM                     Yeah Mike, that's the CBS Climax Theatre production of "Casino Royale" that Mitchell mentioned earlier. It was a live teleplay with Peter Lorre as LeChiffre (the role Orson Welles played in the 1967 version Mitchell also referenced) and Barry Nelson as "Jimmy" Bond. And this is the reason that I made the distinction of who was first seen as Bond on the "big screen." Tim, you were right to be wary...  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-13-2008 09:24 PM                     Mike, according to an interview I saw a while back with Ron Jeremy Hyatt, it was John Holmes Dorothys last name Gale Professor horses name Sylvester Words on baloon Oz Who was Margaret Hamilton's stunt double?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-13-2008 10:02 PM                        quote: Bill Enos Words on baloon Oz Nope.

John Williams has composed the music for 23 of the 24. Which film did Williams not score, and why?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-13-2008 11:53 PM                        The Color Purple because John Williams hates black people.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

Which half-German American actor fought German terrorists in which movie? Which movie features music by two well known "classical" composers with identical last names who aren't related? Name at least 2 Kurosawa movies which are quoted in Star Wars. Name at least 3 Western (meaning European or American in general, not necessarily "Wild West") remakes of original Kurosawa movies.

Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 01-14-2008 03:06 AM                        I assume we're talking Akira Kurosawa here: Star Wars - a visual remake and homage to The Hidden Fortress The Magnificent Seven - remake of Seven Samurai Fist Full Of Dollars - remake of Yojimbo The Outrage - remake of Rashomon  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-14-2008 03:08 AM                        Which Kurosawa film is loosely based on Hamlet? Alfred Hitchcock directed only one film which was based on an original screenplay - that is, not adapted from any previously published book or play. What was it? In which 1988 Hollywood blockbuster does an English-born Shakesperian stage actor play a German terrorist? What was the significance of the 'Paramount Case' of 1948? What do the following 1920s film personalities all have in common: Alan Crosland (director of early Hollywood talkies including The Jazz Singer), the Western star Tom Mix and the German expressionist filmmaker F.W. Murnau? What animal did Thomas Edison film being electrocuted in 1903 as part of a publicity stunt?  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-14-2008 11:19 AM                       My tries... quote: Leo Enticknap What was the significance of the 'Paramount Case' of 1948?

An elephant. quote: Michael Schaffer Name at least 2 Kurosawa movies which are quoted in Star Wars. The Hidden Fortress and Seven Samurai. The quotes are, "Threepio, get in here!" and "I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father."  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-14-2008 11:40 AM                     The words on the Oz Balloon are: Omaha State Fair  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-14-2008 05:57 PM                        The Paramount Case ruled that studios and theatres being owned by the same company violated antitrust legislation, and led to the break-up of the so-called 'classical' studio system. As for Edison, it was indeed a case of 'Did you see an elephant fry?' (a VERY bad joke, I know). Admittedly, the others were evil. The Hitchcock film was The Ring, the Kurosawa film was The Bad Sleep Well, Alan Rickman played the terrorist leader (with a gruesomely unconvincing German accent) in 'Die Hard', and the 1920s personalities all died in car accidents.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-14-2008 06:12 PM                     quote: Michael Schaffer In which movie did Alec Guinness appear in 8 different roles?

Oh, and I would have thought the answer to Heenan's question was Milton Berle. [ 01-15-2008, 05:24 AM: Message edited by: Hillary Charles ]  |  IP: Logged
